Administrative Offices and Officers

Student Government

The Associated Students, Inc., an incorporated organization in which all students hold membership, is managed by a board of directors composed of elected student officers. This body formulates policy and handles the business affairs of the student body.

Commissions plan and direct student activities, including rallies, elections, tutorial projects, cultural activities, and general convocations. Public performances feature noted musicians, films and guest speakers. Students serve with representatives of the faculty and administration on academic committees, governing boards, and commissions. Through such membership students engage in development of policy and in planning and implementing activities such as publications and athletic programs.

Advocacy Network Efforts

All Californians have a stake in maintaining a strong and accessible California State University system, in particular because the CSU educates 10% of the state’s workforce – including a majority of our teachers, computer scientists, engineers and business graduates. With three million newly created jobs expected over the next five years, California’s thriving economy is dependent on quality graduates from the world’s largest system of public higher education.

Cal State L.A. has formed the CSULA Alumni Advocacy Committee to help promote public support for the CSU and CSULA.

The CSULA Alumni Advocacy Committee is comprised of leaders from the CSULA Community as well as current and former elected officials who have enthusiastically supported Cal State L.A. in the past. These volunteers are uniquely qualified as advocates because of their long-time association with Cal State L.A. and familiarity with campus issues.

Members of these groups receive periodic special newsletters concerning statewide bond measures and other issues on which they might become advocates. They also participate in campus visits by local elected officials and visit elected officials in their district offices. For information please call Randi Moore, Executive Director, Alumni Relations at (323) 343-2586.
